Dedicated workflow program for journalists
While traditional manual organization of a 1-hour interview recording usually takes 4-6 hours, Smart Dictation reduces it to 15 minutes:
- Preprocessing Optimization: Use an external microphone to ensure the clarity of the recording; if you already have a recording file, it is recommended that you use tools such as Audacity to reduce the noise before importing it.
- Intelligent Sentence Breaking: Turn on the "conversation mode", the system will automatically distinguish between different speakers (at least 10 seconds of samples are required for the AI to learn the voiceprint features).
- mark a key point: Use the shortcut key ⌘H to highlight key responses when transcribing, which can then be filtered directly into a first draft.
- export format: Supports RTF formatting to preserve text styles for direct import into professional writing software such as Final Draft.
Advanced Tip: In a multi-person interview scenario, recording 5 seconds of each interviewee's "My name is [name]" as a sample in advance can significantly improve the accuracy of speaker recognition. Journalists are advised to subscribe to the Pro version to remove the usage limit.
